@@happymaskedguy1943 Ah, I understand the skepticism! Writing with your whole being isn't about penning a grocery list with fervor-it's about infusing your words with depth and authenticity. It's about channeling your experiences, emotions, and observations into your writing, creating a tapestry of human expression. If that's 'nonsense,' then maybe we should all embrace a bit more nonsense in our lives. After all, writing with emotion is just the tip of the iceberg, writing with your whole being is diving deep into the waters of creativity and connection.

Practice empathy with everyone in your observation. Do not judge, but try to understand. 5. Practice a lot with the apprentice's mindset. (My personal summary of this important lesson)

I am not attempting to be a contrarian, I just found it interesting that recently I have been reading "Reading Like A Writer" by Francine Prose. I believe she is the first person I've seen that questions the form of bad advice given young writers, that the author is to show not tell. "Needless to say, many great novelists combine 'dramatic' showing with long sections of the flat-out authorial narration that is, I guess what is meant by telling." I won't quote any more of her book here, but it's the first chapter called "Close Reading" and on page 25 of my copy. She says this after quoting a selection by Alice Munro that she notes does not follow this rule. The entire piece is nuanced and I believe worth reading, this work by Francine Prose has become my favorite book on writing/reading. Thanks for the opportunity to comment, have a good day, cheers!

Fire. As I watch the clock tick my life shrinks I told my shrink. Clinks of glasses the brinks of flasks ringing and writhing to the sound of my ailing pen bleed. I forgot myself, the privilege I been bestowed from the flicker of gold, honey of the birds and the bees. What a fortuitous roll of the dice. Watch mice scurry, I resonate cause I to am frightened. Wait for a waive of the wand, the vanishing gong, a sarong on my head. I wait for the day, the wave to lift the weight, the wheels of fate have crushed me like a train. Who am I to stop locomotion, I just observe. Who am I to rot, unless I’ve stolen. The precious gift, my mere existence, rips I feel their eyes stamping.

I can't remember who said it but it was a famous writer and I saw the quote many years ago. but they said it was 2 steps for them... 1. Writing is reading so read lot's of books. 2. Take a book of your favorite author and copy as many pages as you can, (the whole book if possible) you won't notice it but you will pick up style and structure from them and still have you're own. I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist of it.

Many, many years ago while attending yet another writer's workshop, I discovered the 3 Keys to Successful Fiction Writing, scrawled on a blackboard with yellow chalk, in huge letters: Inspiration Aspiration Perspiration I've long forgotten everything about that workshop, save that blackboard image. I'm a good writer. I had a successful career as a writer-producer in commercial television for nearly 20 years, won a stack of awards, even had some success in Periodical writing (aptly named). But I have been a complete and absolute failure as a novelist. Because while possessing two of those three keys, I have lacked the one most important: *Inspiration* Examine the career of any successful novelist and you will find, at its heart, an abundance of inspiration. Without it, even the best wordsmiths are doomed to fail.

If you look at Old Man and the Sea it's notable that EH is not really show don't tell. He is more "tell AND show" or "show AND tell". "The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks." "The sun was hot now and the old man felt it on the back of his neck and felt the sweat trickle down his back as he rowed." "It was cold after the sun went down and the old man's sweat dried cold on his back and his arms and his old legs."

In the 1970's at a "teacher's college" in northern Colorado I went to the "Michener Library" to try to check out several different copies of Hemingway's books and none were available. They did not own any copies. Get that. They did not own any copies. "They are not very popular," said the head librarian. You have to be very good and very lucky to make a living as a writer in this country. Ninety-five percent of humanity is not smart enough to read anymore...I could not even make a living as a newspaper reporter anymore because seventy-five percent of the newspapers and magazines in this country have gone out of business thanks to the internet, mainly Craig's List, taking the ad revenue away from them. Now please go on about how much money I can make as a "blogger," won't you?

What the hell do you think that all throughout history every human could read???? We’ve only gotten smarter, and thats inevitable thanks to the internet forcing us to be literate, i mean seriously your assumptions are so insanely privileged to think that before the internet 99% of people used to read, literacy rates have only been increasing with time and they’ve never been 100% in most of the world, and I can assure you that up to the 1900s literacy rates are far lower than you could imagine. That we’re dumber becuz of the internet is a decent argument, but that people are illiterate now is so dumb since how the hell would ppl use the internet if they can’t read, and also becuz of how crazy the internet is people are going back to records and physical media again because it feels more meaningful
